Green light for energy efficiency package

More than 330 Council houses across South Kesteven are to benefit from a £3.4m Government grant to fund energy efficiency upgrades.

The funding comes after SKDC identified a programme of energy efficiency and lowcarbon heating upgrades.

Cllr Rhys Baker, Cabinet Member for Environment and Waste, said: “This project has clear benefits for the Council’s wider work to reduce carbon emissions.

“Although the homes outlined for the bid are not included in the Council’s own carbon footprint, energy efficiencies will be achieved through delivery of the project.

“There will also be wider benefits to tenants including an improved living environment and reduced energy consumption to help address cost of living pressures.”

The Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund grant of £3.4m will be supported with £3,847,516 from the Council’s Housing Revenue Account. https://tinyurl.com/ SKclimateplan
